Introduction
Operation Condor was a campaign of state terror that pervaded both Latin America and the rest of the world Police forces, military, and intelligence agencies from Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay worked together to capture, transport, and remove infiltrators that inhabited foreign countries. [1] Operation Condor stemmed from the aftermath of the national security dogma that greatly influenced South American military ideology throughout the 1960s and 1970s. [2]
"How many of the thousands of murders committed by Chile Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Brazil could have been prevented if the United States had taken 'a strong froward public posture, [or] even a private posture' against the killing, torture, and disapearances its allies in friendly intelligence agencies were carrying out?"
